it generally sucks arse that the first black president has shown himself to only be interested in portraying himself as black even though he's mixed because it nets him more political points

Yes I am mad

True

I think that if you were to put Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama together you'd get one legit first black president.

There were zero African-Americans in his family growing up in fricking Hawaii.

His blackness is basically a technicality.

I do like how he turns up the blaccent when speaking (pandering) to certain crowds.

This infuriates me greatly.

Not saying he can help his lineage/appearance, but the pandering/intentional misrepresentation of himself (when repping himself as mixed would be compelling as well) really sticks in my craw, especially given the ethnicity of my own spouse.

Well it generally sucks arse that the first black president has shown himself to be interested only in racial division and class warfare. It's a divide and conquer strategy that's as old as civilization itself. The only point is to cede more power to the state. He has literally been the worst President for race relations and black people since before the Civil War. Considering he's the first black POTUS, that's an incredibly tragic irony.

The Sharptons and Obamas and Holders of today are EXACTLY the same as the George Wallaces and Strom Thurmonds of the previous era.

From today's New York Post ...

Holder and Obama are making race relations worse, inflaming hatred

quote:

Excerpted:


Attorney General Eric Holder insisted to MSNBC earlier this month that “we are in a better place than we were before” in race relations since Barack Obama was elected president.

The president doubled down in an interview with NPR last week. Asked if race relations were worse since he took office, he said, “No, I actually think that it’s probably in its day-to-day interactions less racially divided.”

But that’s not what the American people see. A Pew Research Center poll found that only 40% of Americans approve of the way Obama is handling race relations. Black approval is down to 57%, while approval among whites is down to 33%.

More young people under age 30, the age group who were most enthusiastic about electing the nation’s first African-American president, now disapprove of his performance on racial issues than approve. And Eric Holder has one of the lowest approval ratings of any public official.

Even honest liberals agree that Holder’s Justice Department has been confrontational and polarizing. Juan Williams of Fox News, the author of “Eyes on the Prize: America’s Civil Rights Years,” laments that “the Justice Department has devolved into the heart of Washington darkness, the absolute pit of modern political polarization in my lifetime.”

One reason for that is that, thanks to direct support from Holder and Obama, Al Sharpton has now become the nation’s leading civil-rights leader. Far from becoming the “refined agitator” his apologists now claim him to be, Sharpton is the same racial charlatan and rabble-rouser of the past using slightly new tricks.

Sheriff Clarke says the Obama administration set a pattern early on that it would ignore bad behavior and bad actors if it suited their political purposes and their warped racial ideology.

In 2009, it dropped charges against the New Black Panther Party for intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place because the defendants were black. In 2013, the Inspector General of the Justice Department filed a report criticizing its Civil Rights Division for allowing the harassing and bullying of conservative employees. No disciplinary action was taken. And Holder has filled the ranks of the office at DOJ responsible for policing the police with radical lawyers hostile to law enforcement.
